  1. The NRA couldn't have supported gun regulation for almost 100 years as the first gun regulation was passed in 1934, and the NRA changed gears in 1971. That's 37 years, not 100. The reason things changed in 1971 was because that's when the ATF raided an NRA member's home, shooting the member and paralyzing him for life. The member was suspected of keeping illegal firearms which he was not. This was the tyranny that we were warned against. You skipped that important part of what caused the change in the NRA's attitude toward gun legislation. This is just propaganda. Oh, and you're really pushing the limit there... "Was targeted to 'urban crime' which was then synonymous with Italian-Americans." You mean white Europeans. Italians are white people. Good try, I guess? Propaganda. Propaganda. Propaganda. Those of us who are members give the NRA at the minimum $150 million annually. We pay a lot more than manufacturers do. If the NRA doesn't pass further legislation, that 52% likely won't leave. If they do, then that 48% mostly and definitely will, including myself, and all of my money will go to NAGR instead. It's about the defense of natural rights, not what the people want as they have no power if they want to infringe on natural rights.
